2. Leu Gardens – Orlando, Florida
Choosing Leu Gardens for your engagement session is always a good idea. Whether it’s the vibrant blooms in the Rose Garden or the serene Butterfly Garden, each corner of Leu Gardens offers a new gorgeous backdrop for your images. Do keep in mind that you will have to pay a fee to enter the garden. If you live in Orlando, it would be worth it to get an annual membership so that you can enjoy the gardens all year round. Leu Gardens isn’t just the perfect location for your engagement session, but can be the perfect place for your wedding as well.

3. Cocoa Beach, Florida
Cocoa Beach, Florida is a special place on the Space Coast. The sun-kissed shores and stunning ocean vistas create a romantic backdrop that beautifully complements any love story. The dynamic combination of sandy beaches, crashing waves, and the bright blue sky is the perfect scene for engagement photos. Cocoa Beach is a 1 hour drive from Orlando. It’s a great change from outdoor parks. Early morning sessions on the beach have amazing cotton candy skies with next to no people in the early hours. You can dance, splash in the water and just be a little silly with your partner. I love when my couples get comfortable in the sand and let me capture them as their true selves.

4. Disney’s Boardwalk – Kissimmee, Florida
Disney’s BoardWalk stands out as a great location for capturing engagement photos. As your photographer, I find great joy shooting at this particular location. I don’t consider myself a Disney adult, however, Disney parks and resorts are so beautifully decorated and designed. The vibrant atmosphere of Disney’s BoardWalk is a colorful backdrop for any engagement session. I invite couples to step into the fairy tale realm of Disney’s BoardWalk, where every shot tells a part of your fun and loving romance.

8. Rollins College – Winter Park, Florida
Rollins College is indeed exactly what it sounds like, a school campus! However it is so beautifully manicured and maintained. It is no wonder that many Orlando photographers like myself flock to this location. This is one of those few venues that boasts a classic architecture and neatly manicured gardens. Additionally, there is also a chapel on the campus that hosts weddings. Making this an extra popular spot for those seeking engagement and wedding photography services.
9. Cypress Grove Park – Orlando, Florida
This spot is fantastic for both your engagement session and even for your wedding venue! This park is large with many picturesque spots to use for your back drop. Additionally, there is no fee to enter, which is great for those on a tighter budget! Cypress Grove Estate House also has lots of ample parking. Do make sure to double check the opening hours as google is not always up to date!
